CO2 and CPs

While browsing the 1995 archives, I ran across a discussion of the use of CO2
in closed terraria. I currently use a mixture of sugar, water, and yeast to
produce CO2 for my planted aquarium, and I could easily adapt the setup for a
CP terrarium. I'd be interested to hear from anyone who has long term
experience with CO2 fertilization of CPs. I'd also like to hear of any
drawbacks (in the archives, there was some mention of excess CO2 causing VFT
traps to close).

Incidentally, the yeast method works _great_ with most aquatic plants. Maybe
it would help growers of aquatic utrics.

cheers,
Nick
